I Rock at Cupcakes

Yesterday afternoon I became a bit restless and wanted to play in the kitchen. Cupcakes have become a default, and that is just fine by me.

I usually try to be creative and add some fun little twist to make the cupcakes even more spectacular, but yesterday I just had no inspiration. As a result I made Almond Vanilla Cupcakes with an Incredibly Wonderful Light, Fluffy Almond Vanilla Frosting. Since I wasn’t doing much flavor-wise, I decided to add just a tiny bit of food coloring to my frosting. As a result, I had a very soft, delicate green. It suits the cupcake.

For the frosting I used a recipe I found over at Tasty Kitchen. It truly is incredible. I know it sounds a little odd, but it is so fluffy, airy, and just plain delightful. Its consistency is comparable to whip cream, and the flavor is just a tiny bit sweeter. The only thing I did to that recipe was add 1/4 tsp almond extract and a couple dashes of food coloring.

This is how your mixture of flour and milk should look when you finish.

After you make your frosting, enjoy and lick the bowl. Just lick it. There will be plenty of frosting left. We may have enjoyed some frosting out of the piping bag…
